Photo Jelly is an AI-powered photo sharing and event management platform. It lets event planners, photographers, and organisations create events, collect media from guests, and automatically deliver photos to each guest using facial recognition — via WhatsApp or web, with no app download required for guests.

Who is Photo Jelly for?

Photo Jelly is designed for personal event hosts, professional photographers, wedding planners, and enterprise teams who need a seamless way to collect, manage, and share event media at scale.

How does AI facial recognition work?

Guests upload a selfie once. Photo Jelly' AI matches them to every photo they appear in and delivers those images privately via WhatsApp or the web gallery — never the full album.

Yes. Photo Jelly offers a free plan to host your first event. Paid plans add Cam-Link, AI editing, WhatsApp Bot, higher storage, and enterprise features.

Honest comparison · Photographer client galleries

Photo Jelly vs Pixieset

Pixieset is the mature photographer platform: client galleries, a product store, portfolio websites, and studio operations. Photo Jelly is not a Pixieset clone. It is stronger at event guest delivery (faces, WhatsApp, Cam-Link) and younger at commerce, contracts, and the photographer website/store Pixieset spent years on.

Two different jobs

Pixieset is best when photography businesses that proof, sell, and run a studio site. Photo Jelly is best when the job is an event: ingest, face delivery, WhatsApp, and a photographer in the loop.

Choose Pixieset if

You sell prints and downloads from a client gallery.
Your website and proofing already live on Pixieset and work.
The client is the couple or brand, not 300 guests.

Choose Photo Jelly if

Success is guests receiving their photos the same day.
You need face privacy and WhatsApp.
A host or enterprise is the buyer, not only a studio.

Saying Mogra “has studio sites” the same way Pixieset does is unfair to Pixieset. Their client gallery, print store, and photographer website are category-defining.

Saying Pixieset “does event sharing” the same way Mogra does is unfair to Mogra. Pixieset’s unit is the paying client’s gallery. Mogra’s unit is every face in the room, including live ingest.

Many studios will keep Pixieset for proofing and sales, or switch only if guest delivery became the job. That is a real choice, not a table that Mogra wins on every row.

What each does well

Pixieset

Client galleries

Proofing, downloads, presentation — this is the product photographers already trust.

Store and prints

Selling products from a gallery is mature on Pixieset. Mogra’s store exists; Pixieset’s is the benchmark.

Photographer website

Full studio sites, not a marketing checkbox. Years of templates and client expectations.

Studio operations

The wider Pixieset suite (site + gallery + store) is a business OS. Mogra’s centre of gravity is the event.

Photo Jelly

Guest face delivery

Each guest can get the photos they appear in — not a Pixieset core loop.

Delivery on the thread families already have.

Live ingest

Cam-Link and desktop folders during the event, not only a post-production publish.

Hosts as buyers

Planners and enterprises can run events without being a photography studio.

Feature by feature

Checks mean the product actually does that job. A dash means it is not what they sell — not that they “failed.”
